🥳💜 2 Year Anniversary!! 💜🥳

🐾 I cannot believe it has been two years already!! From Barking Mad to Sal’s Pals it’s been quite the journey!! 🐾

✨ As always I would be nowhere without my gorgeous doggies by my side and my loyal clients who’s support and unwavering faith keeps Sal’s Pals alive! ✨

💗 This year has been slightly different by having my own tiny side kick by my side, Sal. Who’s love and companionship has changed the way I work forever and opened my eyes to so many more ways to socialise, entertain and encourage more nervous dogs that we are and always will be a safe space for all!💗

🌟 I am and will forever be grateful that I get to do the best job in the world side by side with the best pups and clients! 🌟

🐾 Two years down, many more to go 🤞🏼

‼️ To Celebrate Tomorrows Doggies Will Be Off To Paws at the Junction Ltd for a Paddock Party ‼️

With the British weather warming up (again!) we thought it would be a paw-fect time to remind you of our top tips on how you can keep your pets cool 🧊

[Visual description: Infographic reads: Five ways to keep pets cool in summer. Make a sun shelter, make sure your pet has plenty of water, exercise early or late, keep up with grooming, and keep their bed cool and comfortable.]

💜 ‼️ Walk / Weather Update ‼️💜

Please read:

☀️ As the weather is set to heat up this week all walks will be moved to morning slots in order to keep all our gorgeous pups safe, cool and happy!
The walks will end 10 mins earlier in order for all the doggies to get back to the van for a nice cool bowl of water and a full body check for any pesky ticks or grass seeds, before setting off back home ☀️

🐾 If any of my elder, brachycephalic or heat prone doggies prefer to stay in for this duration I am more than happy to do pop ins for toilet breaks, cuddles, games and of course iced treats to keep them happy and cool! Just pop me a message!🐾

🌟 I hope everyone has a wonderful week, keep yourself and your furry friend safe too🌟

💜🐾 Maddy & Sal 🐾💜

Remember, if it’s too hot for your hands or your bare feet, then it’s too hot for their paw pads! ⚠️

If you’re unsure whether it’s okay to let your pet go for a walk on pavements, a simple way to test the temperature is by holding your bare skin on the tarmac for five seconds ⏱️

If you find it painful, then your pet will find it painful to walk on!

To protect your pet, it’s best to avoid walks during the hottest part of the day, which is usually between 8am and 6pm. If you can't safely exercise your dog, missing a day won't hurt.

❌ RAPESEED! ❌

It’s that time of year again where farmers fields have blossomed into pretty yellow flowers, these plants are called rapeseed. Although it may be tempting to place your dog in the midst to take a scenic photo, please avoid this at all costs!

Rapeseed is extremely poisonous for dogs, especially in highly sensitive canines.

Rapeseed is listed by Dogs Trust as toxic to our dogs if ingested and can cause symptoms such as:

❌Haemolytic Anaemia
❌ Blindness
❌ Damaged Nervous System
❌ Digestive Disorders
❌ Breathing Problems

Even walking through these fields should be avoided! In June 2019, a dog was reported to be suffering from severe open wounds after running through a crop of rapeseed.

Please seek immediate veterinary attention if your dog shows any signs of rapeseed poisoning!

💜 🎾 Monday Mayhem 🎾 💜

🌿 The little legs group had a fab run around in the forest this morning, we just about missed the on and off rain and only got slightly soggy! Not that any of these gorgeous ones cared, they had a fab time sniffing out the best smells surrounded by bluebells 🌿

🦴 It was a Labrador party this afternoon, with the cheeky boys Harley and Merlin! Sal showed the brothers around with Harley finding all the best sniff spots and pretty floral backgrounds. Plenty of treats were had how could I say no to those faces 😍🦴

💜 🫶🏻 Waggy Tail Wednesday! 🫶🏻 💜

☀️ Look at all of these sunny happy pups! We may have gotten very very wind swept with flying ears, wagging tails, crazy hair and even some tongues out! But still lots of smiles to be seen and plenty of treats to keep the teams spirits up! ☀️

🎾 Even Milo decided to join in on today’s fun by playing fetch with Sal and Murphy! It’s times like this that make my heart fill with so much happiness, to see Milo who was once so nervous to be gaining so much confidence even with other doggies! This is what I live for 🎾

🌿 Theo, Bruno and Sal took to a very misty and mizzly moors this morning, they all had a chat and chose to pose instead of doing tongues out today since the weather was so grim! Bruno raced Sal to all the best sniff spots and Sal shared her tennis ball with Bruno as a trade 🌿

🎾 The crazy crew took to the field this afternoon bringing all the energy! Keef did his best along with Ted to keep up with the spaniels, they did a fab job but decided hanging with me and my sausage treats every now and then for a good rest 😂 an amazing turn out for tongues out with this crew!! Murphy even dropped the tennis ball to give us a tiny little tongues out 🎾

🌿 A busy busy day for Sal’s Pals and a fab start to the day welcoming newbie Barney to the crew!
Barney fit in so well and became a true part of the crew, running around with Dougal and Sal, checking in with Jack and seeing what he’s up to, to trying to play with Theo who was having none of it 😂 little Pippa plodded along with me and watched all the crazy unfold 🌿

🎾 Crew number two took to the woods, Murphy met little Murphy for the first time and they were so cute together playing and chasing one another. Welly loved Keefy and followed him to the best sniff spots. Maple kept her eye on me in between running with both Murphy’s just to check I wasn’t handing out any treats to anyone else without her 🎾

💜 🌟 Soggy Monday Movers 🌟 💜

☔️ This morning we started off with a park sniffy walk for Theo & Sybil. Sybil didn’t bat an eye at the rain however, mr Theo was not best pleased that I’d woken him up for this 😂 ☔️

🪵 This afternoon Sal and Bess took to the woods to do some exploring, Sal took to exploring the water whilst Bess decided anywhere in the trees and up high is the best bet! Both unfazed completely by the weather 🪵

🍄 Then it was back for a puppy pop in with Sybil who sat beautifully for her lunch and even sat for a picture to show how good she was for eating it all! Of course before I had to say goodbye we had to have puppy cuddles🍄

🌿Crew 1 took to the woods for a nice sniff fest, it seemed like we had the woods to ourselves, Maple and Sal were the queens of the trees weaving in and out following each other round n round! The pug boys played the whole way around the walk, chasing and rolling around! Murphy had a nice chill sniffy walk today as he recovers from his surgery 🌿

☀️ A beautiful start to the week! Not only with the weather but also with our newbie Sybil’s first walk as a part of the crew!☀️

🎾 Me and Syb took to the pavement for a street walk today for a little bonding session, safe to say my chicken sausage treats went down well and me and Syb turned into besties by the end! 🎾

🌿 The group had an adventure in the woods this afternoon, plenty of sniffs to be had, new friends to be made and lots of weaving in and out of the trees! A fab start to the week with a gorgeous bunch of doggies and finally some sun! 🌿
